An article which basically does nothing more than list the richest people in congress. While the data are interesting, there is nothing here about the real issue: our flawed election process that sells America’s governments (state and federal) to the highest bidders.

The article is short, but supported by data, and provides a good talking point relative to the reasons why our democracy is broken. However, it does not talk to the reasons why one must either be rich or a prostitute to the rich in order to afford a competitive election campaign. Publicly financed elections are not mentioned as any part of any solution.
